GUBTAIN-POLE, DRAPERY-ROD, AND SHADE-ROLLER SUPPORT.

Application filed May 7, 1925. Serial No. 28,685.

To all 'wlwmit may conccrm Be it known that I, THOMAS E. FARMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Stockett, in the county of Cascade andf State'of Montana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Pole, Drapery-Rod, and Shade-Roller Supports; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. i y

This invention relates to combined our tain pole, drapery rod and shade roller supports of that type forming the subject-matter of my U. S. Letters Patent No. 1,534,443 granted April 21, 1925, and embodying arms adapted to be pivoted to a window frame so as to permit the curtain, draperies and shade to be swung away from the window when it is desired to gain access thereto for cleaning or other purposes, and means adapted to retain the arms in upright or normal position.

The inventlon has for one of its objects to improve and simplify the general construction of devices of the character stated and to provide one wherein the means a the window and as readily secured in their upright or normal position. The foregoing and other tained by the novel features of construction and combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is an elevationalview illustrating the application of a curtain pole, drapery rod and shade roller support embodymg my invention, the support being shown in upright or normal position.

Figure 2 is a view in side elevation of the holder in lowered position,

Figure 3 is a detail sectional View taken on the plane indicated by the line 33 of Fi ure 1,

igure4 is a view in front elevation on an enlarged scale of the upper portion of one of the arms of the support.

objects are at-,

Figure 5 is a view in side elevation of the parts shown in Figure 4,

Figure 6 is a detail sectional view taken spectively, being slidably mounted in the frame.

The holder comprises arms 4pivoted at their lower ends as at 5 to the sides 1 of thQWlnClOW frame andprovided near their upper ends with openings 6 for the recep tion of a curtain rod -7. The curtain rod 7 I is secured against endwise displacement with respect to the arms 4 by set screws 8 which pass through the upper ends of thearms 4 and engage'the rod 7 as clearly illustrated in F gure 6. Ornamental knobs 9 are se cured to set screws 8 and provide means by which the latter may be turned into or out of engagement with the curtain rod 7.

Alined pairs of brackets 10 are secured tothe front sides of the arms 4, and are adapted to removably receive the ends of a drapery rod 11. As there are a number of pairs of the brackets 10 the drapery rod 11 may be secured to the arms 4 at different distances from the curtain rod 7. Each arm 4 is provided intermediate the brackets 10 with a shade roller bracket 12 which together with the brackets 10 may be of any suitable form and construction. The arms the reception of the pivots 5. Plates are secured. to the rear sides of the arms 4 and are provided with slots 21 for the reception of screws 22 carried by the sides 1 of the window frame. The plates 20 and the screws 22 provide means for retaining the arms at in upright or normal position, and the slots 19 permit the arms at to be raised high enough to carry the plates 20 out of engagement with the screws 22 when it is desired to lower the holder in order to permit access to the window sashes 2 and To prevent the plates 20 from being accidentally disengaged from the screws 22, coil springs 23 are provided. The springs 23 are secured at their upper ends as at 9A to the arms 4: and at their lower ends to the casings 16 as at 25. The springs 23 exert a constant downward and rearward pressure on the arms 4, and their upper portions are located in recesses 26 in the rear sides of the arms ii. Chains 27 secured as at 28 to the sides 1 of the window frame and as at 29 to the arms 4% are adapted to support the holder in its lowered position.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it should be apparent that the holder can be easily and quickly detached from the window frame and moved into lowered position, and that it may be also raised into and secured in normal position. It should further be apparent that there is no possibility of the holder becoming accidentally detached from the window frame and moving into lowered position.

It should be understood that the draw ings are merely illustrative and do not pretend to give exact proportions. Furthermore, the said drawings are illustrative of a preferred construction, it being my expectation that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention.

\Vhat is claimed is l. A holder of the character set forth, comprising, in combination with a support, a pair of arms, means slidably and pivotally connecting the arms to the support, headed elements carried by the support, and plates carried by the arms and notched to receive the elements.

2. A holder of the character set forth,

comprising, in combination with a support, a pair of arms, means slidably and pivotally connecting the arms to the support, headed elements carried by the support, plates carried by the arms and notched to receive the elements, and springs connected to the arms and said means. 7

3. A holder of the character set forth, comprising, in combination with a support, casings secured to the support, arms pivotally and slidably connected to the casings, and detachably connected retaining elements carried by the support and arms.

4:. A holder of the character set forth, comprising, in combination with a support, arms slidably and pivotally connected to the support, springs connected to the arms and support, and retaining elements carried b the arms and support, said springs functioning to hold said retaining elements in en gagement with each other.

A holder of the character set forth, ineluding casings, vertical arms having their lower ends positioned in the casings, and means establishing slidable and pivotal connections between the casings and arms.

6. A holder of the character set forth, comprising, in combination with a support, arms pivotally and slidably connected to the support, retaining elements carried by the arms and support, and springs connected to the arms and support and exerting a downward and rearward pressure on the arms.

7. A holder of the character set forth, comprising, in combination with a support, arms pivotally and slidably connected to the support, retaining elements carried by the support, plates carried by the arms and having their lower edges notched to receive the retaining elements, and springs connected to the arms and support and exerting a downward and rearward pressure on the arms.

8. A holder of the character set forth, including casings, vertical arms slidably and pivotally connected to the casings and having their lower ends disposed in the casings, and springs exerting a downward pressure on the arms.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
